The ultrasound showed a lovely, lively, living little baby!
Thanks be to God for graces big and small. The baby’s measurements matched my estimates perfectly and showed him (or her) to be at 11½ weeks’ gestation.
Thank you, too, for all your prayers. Thank you, St. Gerard. Thank you, St. Anne. Thank you, Thérèse and Teresa and Josemaría.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
All for the greater glory of God,
